.NET 9
.NET 9 was announced recently, and as usual, there are many improvements, including C# 13 and F# 9. It seems were a lot of performance boosts in this release. (See Steven Toub’s video “Performance Improvements in .NET 9” for some of the details.)
I spent a bit of time upgrading CCVTAC and AudioTagger to .NET 9 this morning. As usual, there were no problems. (I did run into an apparent false-positive error bug in Rider, which I’ve recently begun using, but it was ignorable.)
I used Rider to upgrade all of my NuGet packages to their latest versions as well, which was quite convenient. During this process, I learned about dotnet nuget why, which displays the dependency graph for a particular package. For example, here’s my output for CCVTAC when I ran it for System.Net.Http:
Project 'CCVTAC.Console' does not have a dependency on 'System.Net.Http'.
Project 'CCVTAC.Console.Tests' has the following dependency graph(s) for 'System.Net.Http':

Looking more at that site, there are several more dotnet commands than I was aware of. Good to know!
